Now, paramilitary forces want 'one-rank, one-pension' benefit

NEW DELHI: The government is struggling to implement one-rank-one-pension (OROP) for armed forces and has begun to face angry protests now, but there is more trouble ahead. Now paramilitary forces are demanding that they too be given the same benefit.

In a representation to the seventh pay commission through home ministry, forces have demanded one-rank -one-pension for themselves arguing that they are the first line of defence on the border and work in far tougher conditions compared to the Army.
